Description:
This course covers AC circuit analysis beginning
with the study of sinusoidal steady-state solutions for circuits in the time
domain. Nodal, loop and mesh methods of
AC circuit analyses and the Thevenin, Norton and Superposition theorems are
applied to the complex plane. AC power,
transformers, mutual induction, three-phase circuits and two-port networks are
introduced and used for analysis.
Laplace and Fourier Transforms and the Fourier Series are applied to
circuit analyses. Complex frequency
analysis is introduced to enable discussion of transfer functions, frequency
dependent behavior, resonance phenomenon and simple filter circuits. The laboratory incorporates use of manual and
computer-controlled equipment and simulation software to reinforce lecture
concepts.
